Taylor Doose: [on video chat] People, we have a tremendous problem that needs our immediate attention. That's why I chose the extraordinary step of broadcasting to you tonight from this remote location. Ow!
Luke: What was that?
Lorelai: Looked like a ping-pong ball.
Taylor Doose: Now, as we all know, the annual Stars Hollow Winter Carnival is this weekend. Ow! Timmy, do not throw ping-pong balls at me.
Boy: [o.s.] You're a doo-doo head. And do not call me a doo-doo head. I'm in the middle of something important.
Luke: Where the hell are you, Taylor?
Taylor Doose: I'm at my sister's in Maine. Anyway, we have never not had a Stars Hollow Winter Carnival. It's a 125-year tradition.
Lorelai: Is he getting to the point soon?
Babette: Yeah, come on, doo-doo head.
Taylor Doose: Fine, let's cut to the chase. I run the winter carnival, it's this weekend, and I am snowed in, unable to get back into town. [silence]
Miss Patty: So, what's this about, Taylor?
Taylor Doose: Maybe it's the lateness of the hour or the computer connection isn't clear. Doo-doo head! We have never had to cancel a carnival, and it's absolutely impossible for me to get back into town to run it.
Babette: I must be tired. I'm not getting this.
Miss Patty: It's like a riddle or something.
